Bis Peellsaa St ih- Tlsir, a Mi tbs B>s«rU is Usss Tbrsssta Bsfsrs Ci * [Prom Ihs Mtlwsnkee Bon.1 Some writer has given the following description of ‘‘the first shave. ” "The first time in a barber’s shop is an event of importance in every young man’s life. He will wait, in some oases, three weeks after determining to do it, and on the eventful day he has bean known to sneak by the shop seventeen times, summing up his courage for this trying ordeal On entering the door he feels that every one in the room knows that this is his first appearance, and that they are microscopically searching for his beard. The barber gives him a bard look when notifying him that it is now his turn. But ho is determined to put on a stiff upper lip, si worldly people say, and go through the opera tion with the stoicism of a veteran. He ia remarkably aenaitive to ridicule, and not fot the world would ho have the barber know that this was his first shave. So he sits on the am'of the chair, in stead of on the scat, and in getting down lies too far back. When told to bring np his head, ho hastily does it, and knocks over the stool in the opera tion. This causes the blood to rnsh to his face, and the embarrassment which prodnoos it is not at all modified by de tecting the barber exchanging significant glances with the ojienitor at the next chair. When the lather is being put on, he cannot control the working of his imagination, and he finds himself pos sessed of an irresistible desire to smile sheepishly. This proneness to grin inexplicable, but it is inseparable from the first shave, and the victim is oblige* to resort to every facial artifice to over come it, and then doesn't succeed. ” The above is true to nature, but it is not nature enongh. The writer shonh: have gone on to state how the young fellow feels for about six months before * he gets up oourage to go to a barber shop, and how he looks at that cater piller-looking, monldy-oomplooted stufl 1 on his upper lip. He sees the fuzz on his lip before anybody else does, and ho wonders that all the world ia not on to it. He goes closer to his girl, on the way home from school, hoping she will tee it, and if she does, and speaks of it, before he has called her attention to the phenomenon, he is very happy, and votes her one of the most discerning women in the world* and ho resolves to make her his wife, if he lives. After his girl has spoken of the hair on his lip, the boy feels better, and when ho goes into the presence of grown people, ho expects they will at onoe stop all con versation and call attention to his lip, and when they go on talking alsnit something else, he feels hurt, and when some one tells him to go to the door and let the dog in, or bring in some wood, he feels crushed, and thinks such re marks should be addressed to children, and not to men who have hair on their lips. From the time a boy first notices the dew on his upper lip, to the time the moustache is unmistakable, which is abont a year and a half, he is miserable. He does not go to a barber at first, bat confides in his father, If he has one, and the father finally gets out his razor and shaves the boy’s npper lip, for a joke, partly because lie was a t>oy once him- arif. But during the operation the father makes the boy feel small by tell ing him that the razor is spoihHl, the edge all taken off, and finally paralyzes the youth by showing him the lather in which there ia not a sign of a hair. After this operation the boy rubs his Ungers on his lip and he can feel the board, and it is harsh, and pricks his fin gers, and he wants to go right off and rnb that lip against the choek of his girl, to show , Lei 1 that the world moves. Then he waits weary months for it t< and wonders how it is recognize him With his moustache cut off. When it comes out again he takes his father’s razor, while the folks ftroto"church and shaves him self. His parents know what ho has done, when they come home by the blood on the towel, and the court-plaster at the corner of his month, where he has gouged himself while trying to look cross-eyed in a mi?ror, and shave him self left-handed. The next time the beard oomos ont he calls up all his reso lution and goes to a tmrlier, and this is where the above quoted remarks are pertinent to his ease. But the writer above has not told half of the annoyance the barber gives the loy. The first thing the barber does is to put a cloth around the boy’s neck, and take down a pair of shears. Though the boy's hair may be as short os pie crust, the barber pretends he supposes the hoy wants'his hair cut, and the poor bey lias to strug- with his voice, and bring it away ont of his throat, and say he wants to be ■haved. The barber lays down the bean, comes np to the trembling boy, laid oat in a choir, looks at him, and ■aya, "Where?” That is the trying time fear the boy. He feels that he would like to murder that barter, and be wonld give all he has got if he oould get out of that shop, but he has to put his finger on hk upper lip, and in a firm voiod say, “There!” though he feels nfere like cry ing, Then the barber says "Oh,” in a ton* of voice that sounds as though It was all he oould do to keep from snort ing right out laughing. In about two seconds the barber has the boy shaved, aadaays “next,” and the boy gets out of the chair in a profuse perspiration, thoagb it may be the coldest day of winter, and when be pays for the shave - 1m k proud to notice that the barber tall-prioei It would kill ter that ahaved him him ao diadainfully, and ahrays lies a rival shop. SMELTHTG IK MAHOL Wfesrs Nnslta HsM la Umae Bara. INswTsra What Um grow ont again, that people rec One of Maine’s midwinter industries that outsiders hear little or nothing about is that of smelting—not mei tiny toon, but fishing for a little silvery sealed fish, something akin to the shiner end perch, and very palatable—in fact a metropoli tan delicacy. One of the principal fish ing grounds is at the head of Patten’s Bay, in the town of Surry, Hancock county. Here, about the month of a little stream, the smelts swarm from Novemter to February, and many peo ple'of the neighborhood find a lucrative occupation in angling for them. There are now fifty men fishing at Surry, each man occupying a little tent on the ice. In one side of the tent is an opening, directly in front of which is a sqnalfe hole in the ice. At the top of the opening or door is hnng a pole, in horiaontal posi tion, from which depend six lines about a foot apart. The hooks are baited with a part of a smelt’s telly, thrown in and then the fisher sits him down and watohes. When a line is swayed to one aide or otherwise agitated he quickly pulls it in, and with it a smelt When luck is " big ” a single fisher sometimes takes as high as 150 pounds a day; when it is poor, tldrty or forty pounds; and the Average is, say, fifty ponnds a day. The fish are laid on lioarda while limp and allowed to freeze straight and stiff. They are then I>aoked in barrels and shipped to Boston and Now York commission merchants. The rommissinn men sell the fish, take out their commission fee and the freight charges and remit lbe balance to,the fisherman. The smelts can be sold on the ice, just as they are caught, for tive cents a pound. Saturday a boy of fif teen years caught sixty pounds of smelts in a few hours and sold them on the spot for $100. But only a few of the fishers, those who ore neediest and want money immediately, sell at thia rate, for by send ing them to Now York and Boston they can realize eight to ten cents per pound. The fishermen are sailor* farmers and” miscellaneous mea-alougshore. They often make good wages for two mouths. One man made $100 in one month laat "inter. A conple of Bangor fishers se cured sixty ponnds in four hears one day recently. Tlie fishing begins at abont two hours flood, that ia, two hours after the tide tegins to rise, and oontinnestill high water. The fish first swim low, bnt toward high water they come within two feet o( the sarfaoe. Boon night fishing will oommonoe; now all the operations are conducted by day. - After the first of February the fish begin to go off-into deep water. Many smelts are also caught in the Penobscot river for a distance of several miles np and down near Ban gor, but here they are taken with dip nets, like tom-cods. LIFE IE THE NORTHWEST.

Our covered wagon started off on a trip across the country—proving itself literally a prairie schooner—and brought up in the river beyond, and, de spite the effort of a dozen stalwart men, our tent came nearly after. All around inside the men were either on their knees holding down the canvass, or hanging on to the ridge-pole with might and main, while the hail pelted tho roof, sides and ends of our tent with each force that no one oould stand against the canvass, and'through the hollows which the stones knocked in onr supposed tightly-stretched tent the water }K>nred in volumes.

Coughs and colds are prevalent now. especially among children, too often from the ignorance or carelessness o their elder guardians. Many mothers appear to accept with resignation the repeated and violent colds from which their children suffer as providential am unavoidable. A cold is by no means always duo to exposure. Indigestion, constipation, a lack of scrupulous clean linens, the unwise habit of sleeping in much of tlie clothing worn daring the d»y, nnaiml ted chamters—all, or any >f th;>se things may have far more to do "ith your child's tendency to cold than the keenest breath of the bracing winter air. And in great measure these things are under your control Mothers should understand that it is a fact, whether hey can see it or not, that nnmerons colds and sore throats are directly traceable to indigestion and dietetic errors. Quantities of greasy food, fried moats, pastry, and the like, ill-ventilated rooms, and con tinned constipation, have to answer for many cases of croup and putrid sore throats. All them things weaken the system and render it far Ism able to resist changes of tempei^ture. Give every bedroom a thorough airing every day, more especially if several children are obliged to sleep together, or with their parents. This is to te avoided, if possible; if nbt, always lower a window slightly from the top—or if this cannot be done, raise it from below. There is frequently had air enongh gen erated and breathed in the sleeping apartment of a family with small chil dren, to supply them all not only colds, but with a numteF of so-called "ma larious” diseases, to last a year, perhaps longer. Neglect of bathing is another prolific source of colds. A child from throe to ten years old should certainly receive an entire bath twice a week in. winter. A warm bath at night, taking special core to avoid any chill after, will frequently break np a sudden cold. Keep children from playing in chilly, unused rooms in autumn and winter weather. Let them play out doors as much as possible, taking care to have their feet warm and dry. A flannel suit and rubber overshoes will often save much medicine and doctor’s bills. Keep them warmly clad,*but do not be con tent with thick coats and wonted hoods, while short skirts barely cover their knees, leaving the limbs chilled.— American Agriculturist Rcffuns Torturiko a Child.—One evening recently, while both John Bsash and his wife were away from their home, in Milwaukee, two young men entered the house »nd endeavored to compel their aeven-year-old daughter to tell them where a small sum of money known to be in the house was concealed.

One wise old ass called Balaam backed up against the lee side of our tent and assisted not n little in keeping it from blowing over. One particular mule—the meanest brute that ever wore long ears—too stnbteru to run, stood kicking throughout the Sturm, which lasted about twenty min utes. We were about a mile away from the nearest point of shelter—a village of rough clap-board houses, which had l>oen run up in a day or so with the first talk of building a road. So, after the storm, for this village we started. Wet to the skin we waded across the in tervening plain, many places over shoes in ice andAwater, and to add to; onr misery it kept getting colder and colder us MB splashed through the water and ice. Arriving at the only hotel in tho town we found the usual Western hos pitality. To our demand for a fire by which to dry our clothing the landlord replied that we should have one just as soon as he oould hunt up the necessary fuel. In the course of an hour the fire was started and around it we clustered, and by' alternating "fore and aft,” drying ofltside and wetting inside, we finally succeeded in restoring circulation. k A heavy rain now set in, and how it can rain 1 out here on the prairies I Onr landlord and his son stood in the hall sweeping back the water as it flooded in under the door—a practical illustration of King Cannte and the flood, and abont as successful. Bed-time arrived and a dozen stiff boys, shoeless, costless, as less several other articles of attire which need not be mentioned, all of which were left behind to dry by the only the hotel offered, marched ont through the wet hall, and climbed a ladder to the loft Here we wrestled manfully with the bugs till near morning, when it be gan blowing snch a terrific gale that a dozen fellows came to a sitting poetnre to debate tho question of hunting the cellar. One of the regular boarders awakened by the- din, settled the qnes- Upn by calling out: ^‘You infernal fools; there’s not a cellar in town; lay down and sleep; it’s better to be on top than under, any day.” We laid down. In the morning our landlord brought np our shoes, clothes, etc., in a bushel basket and emptied them out on the floor to be scrambled for. On going ont, the worst scene of devastation it has ever tieen the lot of the writer to see, met hi» eye. The day before, Targe fields pT grain ripe for the sickle, oould be seen, stretching away in all direetiona, of which not a stalk remained standing; garden growth of all kinds utterly de stroyed; hardly a pane of glass was left : n the village; the foliage of the trees was so ont and mangled that the limbs ooked as bare as in winter time. A belt eight miles in width and twice as many in length was entirely oeared of vege tation. fhe Adirondack Region. A bill to establish an Adirondack ret ervation, which was drawn up by the Chamber of Commerce committee, was presented to the Legislature of New ' fork State by Senator Gibbs. It pro- tides^ for the appointment of oommis- aionem to learn the value of the forest nnds in the Adirondack region owned by private persons, and authorizes the Legislature to appropriate $500,000 for the purchase of these lauds, for the pur- pose of adding them to the State lands in the same region and thus forming a reservation. The lands are to be select ed in the counties of . Washington, Sara toga, Warren, Essex, Clinton, Franklin, St. Lawrence, Hamilton, Fulton,Oneida, Herkimer and Lewis. It to plainly stated that the lands sre jo te selected mainly with a view to protecting the water supply of the Hudson, Black and iohawk rivers. Moreover it to desired to secure a supply of water sufficient for the navigation nf the Erie and Black river canals, "for the preservation of the rablio health, for the protection and preservation of the valleys of the Hod- aon, the Mohawk, and Black N VSM la be interview with F.

When I built my magnificent Oriental conn try seat, Irantotan, I was proud of the boose, bat ten times prouder of my wine cellar than of anything else I had. I was not in the habit of drinking dis tilled liquors, bat every day at Afaimw took my bottle of champagne, or its equivalent in other wines or malt liquors. 1 did no business after noon, and my mother-in-law used to say sometimes that I was * heady * after dinner. I felt quite offended at the suggestion and threatened to go book to whisky if it was repeated, for I really considered my self quite a temperance man, since I drank only wine, and thought my after- dinner feelings were doe to overeating rather than drinking. Bnt I got the Rev. Dr. Chapin to come np to Bridge port and deliver a temperance lecture, for the subject of which he took ' the moderate drinker,’ and I‘'saw myself in quite a new light. I realized for the first time the bad example I was setting, and when I went home that night was so worried that I oould scarcely sleep. The next morning I had my coachman knock the necks off all the champagne bottles I had in my cellar, some five - or six. (Tozen; the port ami other medicinal wines I gave away in oases of sickness, and ths liquors I returned to the dealers That was the end of my drinking. As bumblebees are biggest when they are first hatched, so I was, in the first heat of conversion, an enthnsiast on the sub ject of teetotalism. I went all over Connecticut and New York delivering free lectures on the subject, and even went • ont to Wisconsin, stamped the State at my own expense, and at least helped to carry it on a temperance plat form.” ‘‘Yon swore off on tobacco also?" • ‘‘Yes—or at least I stopped its use.

One day in 1860, on my way down to the museum, I felt a strange choking sensation away down in my throat, and then a throbbing or palpitation of my heart I had noticed it a little for a year before, bnt paid no particular attention to It until then. I naked my manager, Grasnwood, what it was, and he said it was heart disease, and the symptoms I described as mine t death. That scared me pretty badly. I determined to give np busi ness at onoe, retire to the country, and prepare to die, bnt before doing so con sulted Dr. Willard Parker. He examined me, and said: ‘Yon may have very hard heart, for all I know, bnt yon have as strong a one as there to in New York. Nicotine is sll that to the matter with yon. Stop smoking.’ I did so at onoe, Twas so scared, and never smoked again. For a year, however, I used to carry bits of calamus in my pocket to chew on when I wanted to smoke.” A Matter of Principle.
